Wow that's hard - only because I really think the experiences would be VERY different. Imagine you are sitting in exchange MBA program in Hong Kong learning first hand about the economic policy / human rights differences between China and the US (and thus seeing the opportunities and experiences one would have if choosing this path). On the other hand, what if you decided to bootstrap and build the next great healthcare revolution in the US? Both seem like totally awesome ways to live your life. Personally, I favor the bootstrapping because truthfully (and selfishly) I want to contribute to building more ethical and innovative companies - that is my passion.
